…but the score is still nil-nil. Hockey is cruel.

The chart above is from hockeystats.ca. It tells us that the Caps dominated the Pens in the first period but could not finish. Matt Niskanen, Andre Burakovsky, Lars Eller, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Nick Backstrom all had chances.

Here’s Kuzy’s.

Marc-Andre Fleury was solid, making 16 saves. The goalpost was also pretty good, defensively speaking.

The Caps have players from the US, Canada, Russia, Sweden, but not nearly enough Finnish.
